Mr VV. Hammerich, of the Greytown Hotel, advertises fur a groom and cabdriver. Tho installation of W.M. and investituro of oflicers of the Greytown Lodge, E.C. takes place on Tuesday, 28th inst. Dr Bey is the W.M, elect, In this week's issuo of the Weekly Mr P. Dickson, of the Wholesale Drapery Company, announces to the country residents that his dressmaking department is under competent management, and that fit, stylo and finish can be confidently re> lied on, He also notifies that lie has a magnificent stock of new dress .fabrics and trimmings. Several loyal gentlemen have secured the use of the wool store opposite' this Blairlogio Junction Hotel, for the purpose of holding a Jubileo dance on the night of the 21st inst. Mr T. Carswell has kindly promised to supply tho suppor froo of cost, and we are requested by the promoters to state, that a cordial invitation is issued to all, with a hope that overyone present will don their best Jubilee behavior for tho occasion. A meeting of creditors in the estate of Geo. Bell was held on Tuesday afternoon at the Court House, Carterton, Mr StansGeld, deputy Assignee presided, and laid before the creditors a statement "of roceiptsatid expenditure as supplied. by the bankrupt. Mr Beard watched the case on behalf of the bankrupt, the total indebtedness being about £l3O. Afterreviewing the receipts and expenditure; tho creditors camo to the conclusion that the bankrupt had been living in an extravagant manner, and it was resolved, that his discharge be opposed till lie paid a dividend of 10s in the £.

It seems a pity that when there is s.uch, an univorsal feeling- of Jubilee Demonstration in Missterton a great success, that tho Hands of the town should hold aloof and nut join in. Up to last evening's meeting nothing was decided about having music in the procession, beyond tho Salvation Army Band The Private (Pearson's) Band notified through a membor of tho Committeo that they would bo u.iable to attend, and Captain Donald could not promise that the Volunteer Band could attend as tliey; illicit be required in Wellington.' The Committee might, perhaps enlist the sympathy of tho musical organisations of the Lower Valley for tho occasion. Wearers of Tam O'Shanters beware! A dani'erous lunatic, who is reported to bo at present in this district, having, it is stated, escaped fiom one of tho Wellington Asylums, is described as being , tho happy possessor' of a Tam O'Shanteiv' For tho time being we aic afraid this class of head gear will be at a discount, for every individual who happens to wear one of an evening is now looked upon in fear and trembling by tho opposite sen, and, we blush to say it, 1 even by tho sterner sex. A n amusing incident occurred on Saturday evening, in the.direction of Kurupuni, owing to a well-knoim man of business being mistaken for the escapee through bis choosing to don a top cover of tho Tun O'Shantor typo. Having occasion to stop out later than usual, lie was hurrying homo with all possible speed when he heard a man bohind him evidently dogging his- footsteps,' Not' caving to meet tho Btrangor in a lonoly spot, and having heard tho rumor of the escapee, he stopped short and allowed his follower to come up. Imagine the surprise of the business man to find iiis pursuer to 'no no less a personage than one of our local bonifaces. In a few words the publican explained about the lunatic scaro, and how lie had mistaken him for the identical man, owing to his wearing the magio" Tammy." Wo need hardly say that the joke was highly appreciated by both, for sighs of relief followed each other in rapid succession over the convivial glass 'which' followed, and when the happy possessor of the Tammy loft for home, some time .after, be was heard to express a desire to " punch tho blooiain 1 'oad of any man who called him er loonertick."

.Tho AVairarapa Clothing' Factory are still allowing purchasers of New Zealand Clothing a discount of 5s in tho £. Thoy are also making suits lo moitsure from 47a Gd, Trousers and Vests from 28a Gd. and Trousers from 18s Gd. A call cordially invited. Note the address: Next T. G.

The Jubilee gift prosontation has already proved a grand success, and it could hardly have been otherwise, seeing that customers have the advantage of purchasing what; (hey require at wholesale prices, with a jubilee bonus to boot, at the Wholesale Family Drapery Warehouse, Tc Aro House. ■ ; We have'had to replenish our gift tables every day, so great has been the demand for our choice Jubilee presents. Still we have plenty moro on hafld, and the variety is as groat and pleasing as it was a week ago at To Aro House.

CmiTAiNM it is a. very effeotivo method of procuring home embellishments free of cost, and the fullest advantage should be taken of the opportunity during its continuance at Te Aro House.

Several speakers addressed the meeting, tho general foeling beinp that if the movemont was divested of its sectarian character it would uieet with greater success.

The evidence proved that the'lad, who was fourteen yea''s of age, when in defendant's company and iit his expense drank four glasses of rum and, one of .beer. He received the injuries while in this,.state and. was incapacitated from following his usual employment in consequence, Owing to the information being informal, the case was I nonsuited without costs,

At tho Masterton R.M. Court this morning, before Mr S. Von Stunner, R.M, Frederick Hockley,- a youth about 1G years of age, pleaded guilty to using profano language in the public stroob on ■the 11th inst. His -Worship said he was pleased to see tho police taking action in this matter, as the language used by the lads Of .tho colony wiis simply disgusting. He did not know whether it was duo to to; the lack of iiomo education, or a general -moral debasement of the people. Ho was not inclined to think it was the latter. He told accused that he had mado lii.iisclf liable to 12 months' ini - prisonment, and in sentencing him to 24 hours' hard labor, hoped it would: bo a warning to him and the other youths of Maßterton.

The Jubilee cookery class met at the Central Chambers hat evening and held a long discussion 011 the mode of dressing, style of stuffing, time ofcookinp, manner of eating, and number of busters, for the celebration'\M, as one of the class termed if. .The dressing was left in the hands of our Chief Butcher, tho stuffing was held Oyer till the caroaao was done, when it '.was thought that the natives could attend to that part of the business, The time fixed upon for commencing the' roast was-Me on the night previous, or early on ; ; .' the morning of the Show. -The manner of eating did not seeiir to intorest tho class, their great desire; seemed to be to provide a feast for othur people and in their generosity'kindly to hand tho whole bullock to their native visitors and their dogs, The baling was a difficulty •not easily adjusted as no one was so enthusiastic as to sit up all night to ladle the' fluid on to the fat sides of the bull. As several suggestions were made on the subject there is no doubt that a selfacting spit will be connected with Mr Carey's water power, which will attend to the turning, basting, and distributing of the meat,'and so ease off the duties of the cooks
